Growing up in a small community I have not had much experience with many of these issues. They are important to my development and future career. I will use this to grow as an individual and use the information that I use to better understand other perspectives. I plan to get connected on social media such as instagram, facebook, and potentially linkdin as well as keeping up with my email. Also continuing educating myself and becoming more culturally aware and conpetent.]]> 2020-09-27 21:03:46 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahwagner36/veq8387vvlwu4aqp/wish/782758772 https://padlet.com/sarahwagner36/veq8387vvlwu4aqp/wish/782758850 In Tiffany's session yesterday, I learned communication styles that are most effective. I will certainly use the rule of 3's in future presentations.

AND, I've already added everyone on LinkedIn!]]> 2020-09-27 21:03:54 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahwagner36/veq8387vvlwu4aqp/wish/782758850 https://padlet.com/sarahwagner36/veq8387vvlwu4aqp/wish/782758851 I learned about a ton of new fields.

I plan to build ties with my community to ensure that their needs are addressed so we can break the cycle of mistrust. I will continue to reach out to  those who engaged with my presentation as well as those who gave presentations. Social media has  been a great place to stay connected  with Viras :)]]> 2020-09-27 21:03:56 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahwagner36/veq8387vvlwu4aqp/wish/782758881 I learned so much, and way more than I thought I would!

I learned so much from every presentation because I had little knowledge of the topics before. I have gained a lot more respect for other fields and industries., and I would love to take this knowledge to start conversations with others around me to learn others' stories and passions. I plan to stay in touch with others by adding and reaching out on LinkedIn and the Vira Heinz social media accounts.]]> 2020-09-27 21:03:59 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahwagner36/veq8387vvlwu4aqp/wish/782758908 VIH https://padlet.com/sarahwagner36/veq8387vvlwu4aqp/wish/782758923 I learned to have confidence in myself through a screen and I will share all of the knowledge I learned with my family and friends.

I'm always trying to learn more about social justice for different groups of people. I grew up in a community that isn't diverse at all. I love learning more about people's stories and seeing their passions through their work. Thank you Sarah and Laura for all your hard work to make this happen during these rough times.]]> 2020-09-27 21:04:45 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahwagner36/veq8387vvlwu4aqp/wish/782759450 https://padlet.com/sarahwagner36/veq8387vvlwu4aqp/wish/782759505 I learned a lot about self-empowerment and the importance of sharing your stories.  It was also really cool to see the diversity of skills throughout the Vira cohorts. 

I hope to use the information in my every day life to continue to be self-aware and educate those around me on some of the important topics we learned about.
